Redirection Error
-
I have had crazy issues with my WordPress multisite installation for a week now. It’s located at Bookstacked.com. You can currently see that when you go there, you get an error, “This webpage has a redirect loop.”
It just randomly happened yesterday morning. I hadn’t done anything to the site–I hadn’t activated a plugin or anything. It just happened.
I’ve tried several solutions that I’ve found online. They include going into the wp-config file and adding a couple of lines (WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL). I reset the .htaccess file. I deleted a few plugins I thought might be an issue.
Nothing worked.
One solution said to go into phpMyAdmin and edit the home field in wp_options. So I went into the database and to wp_options. I can’t find the home field. I searched the entire table and it’s not there. I also went through the wp_options of the subsites in the multisite installation. One of them, wp_5_options was listed but when I went to click on it, phpMyAdmin said that it didn’t exist–everything for wp_5 doesn’t exist.
So my guess is that it’s a database error? Does anybody know anything about this?
I’ve already contacted my host. They say that the server is experiencing database issues, which is true. In the last week the database has crashed for no reason (as far as I can tell). Only this time, it seems to have deleted some important tables and fields from the database.
I had a few backups from when the site was working. I asked the host to repair it using that. They said that the backups were missing the tables too. It’s just weird, because the site was working perfectly when they were made.
I’m at a loss here. Right now my host is putting me on a new server, hoping that it will solve database issues, but if the tables and fields are gone, I’m not sure how it’ll solve it.
I can’t log into wp-admin–everything is down. Does anybody have any solutions or ideas? Has this been known to happen?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
